This school is literally a waste of time and money. Pretty much everything they sell you to go to this college is a lie. I went to the East Windsor location in CT. I was an "A" student all the way into the block 4 (your "senior block") In this block my grandfather passed away, I left the school on a Tuesday, after school, drove home for the funeral and returned the following Monday. Upon arriving at the school I was pulled aside and asked if I had a legitimate reason for being out so long, and I explained the situation, they then told me that I had to make up all the time so for the next week I had to pull double shifts at the school, both morning and after noon. I was OK with this understanding I missed "key" information. I went the entire week doing both shifts, and on Friday they told me I was caught up and was good for the next week, back to normal scheduling. The following Friday I was sick went down to the main office told them I was sick and asked if I should stay in or still go, they told me to take the day off. Upon arriving at school the following Monday, I was called into the office and told that I had 1 week to pack my things and get out of the dorms, I wasn't "taking the school seriously". I went back three months later to finish what I paid for, again perfect attendance and 4.0. The school promised if I continued the 4.0 and perfect attendance they would buy me a finishing DA and a SATAjet 3000 spray gun. After "graduating" this school they give you an empty diploma book with a letter that says "You'll get your diploma soon" and a hand shake with them telling me that the DA and Gun were just an incentive for me to get it done, they weren't really intentionally planning on doing it. After getting a job the technicians laughed at the way I did the work and told me it was wrong and the school obviously had teachers that didn't work in the industry. The only thing I was mocked on was painting. I didn't get a diploma until I called 4 years later and asked where it is, and I continually get phone calls from the school saying that I owe them more money, whenever I ask what the bill is for they tell me "well, it'll take a few weeks to figure it out" so i tell them to call me when they have the information. Now it's been 6 years, and they won't release my transcripts because I "owe them money" and they still "don't know what it's for". So in short: They don't teach you what you need to know They extort money from you at every turn They don't help in anyway possible to get you a job They kick you out for literally no reason.

This school is a joke!! Once they've sucked you in, your constantly reminding yourself of the 30 grand you spent in order to stay motivated. The homework is massive and only counts as 5% of your grade, the teachers idea of teaching is reading off PowerPoint's, if you fail a test forget about a second chance because there isn't one. You get two sets of shitty uniforms that are suppose to last you an entire year and a bunch of medical supplies that they ordered from some wholesale website and overcharge you for. Hungry?... Well you better pack a lunch! Your only other option is the overpriced vending machine or the hot dog cart on the corner. where will you be eating that lunch?... Outside In the hot ass sun, at an old park picnic table that you share with about 20 other girls or in a cramped room with 10 chairs that they consider to be their break room. choose elsewhere!!!!! This place has no perks.

My experience here at Lincoln Tech has been very pleasant. The whole staff from the instructors, to financial aid, and as well as the admissions were all extremely friendly and always willing to help you out in any way they can. Everyone made me feel welcome and at ease (especially being out of school for 8 years). I attend the night program and have HelenMary as my instructor. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better instructor, she is very thorough with her lectures, and very knowledgeable in her lab work. She takes the time to give you the 1 on 1 learning which many students benefit from, but also she knows how to make it fun. There is never a class where we do not laugh, and I am thankful for that considering how intense some of the coursework may be. I am happy to have had her as my instructor, and I know that even after graduating I will be able to keep in contact with her in regards to any questions I may have in the future.

I went on hear, and read some of the reviews. Since beginning at Lincoln Culinary Institute in West Palm Beach, FL I have felt that the school in general is great. The Culinary Program is awesome, and the instructors really care about you. I mean if your there to learn they will teach you, and pass their knowledge to you. However, if you come there thinking its gonna be super easy, and you don't have to take it serious is where you will have trouble. They will teach to those that want to learn, and to those who play around they don't slow the class down for them. Which I really like this. I would totally recommend this school to anyone.

Yeah ! I definitely agree , upgrade your knowledge , find and study a new career that's best for you or improve your career status , invest for yourself , come and join Lincoln Technical Institute school , I am a proud and happy graduated student .Thank you Lincoln Tech .

Okay, first let me start by saying I was 18 and naive when I enrolled here. There for, part of the blame is on myself for not doing my own extended research with someone who may have known a thing or two about "college." For programs like medical assistant and medical billing and coding, $16,000 tuition is outrageous. I am currently at a community college right now and my tuition is incredibly low. I probably could have gotten the same Medical Billing and Coding certificate for $2,000. Again, that's my mistake for giving into an overly priced school. The reason I am truly upset is that my credits will not transfer out. THIS IS SOMETHING TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE WILL HAPPEN, if it doesn't, the school is likely a SCAM. I tried having my transcripts sent to many schools, since I already took anatomy and some other science courses, nothing got transferred. 16 months of school, $16,000 of debt, and NO CREDIT TRANSFER. How is this allowed? I barely even received an education. This school is a joke compared to other colleges. It's an embarrassment to go here. Also, I worked as a medical biller after school for the next few years. I worked in a few different offices, and guess what? My pay ranged from $9.00-12.00 an hour! Don't be deceived, medical billets/coders and medical assistants are the dishwashers of the medical field. They make such a low salary that it's not worth your time or money to go to school for. May as well just go to nursing school. I wish I had from the start. Lincoln Tech was in a shopping plaza in Lowell, MA. I really wish I saw clearly then, but hopefully this will help someone thinking about applying here. Please, go to a legitimate school or community college where all your hard work will not simply vanish with your money.

F*** Lincoln Tech Northeast Phila Campus-
June 04, 2014

Degree:
Medical/Clinical Assistant

Graduation Year:
2014

Lincoln Technical Institute in Northeast Philadelphia on Horning Rd is one of the worst schools you could ever attend. The Director is very arrogant & ignorant & so are most of the staff & teachers. The only thing there worried about is making money off of you. They care nothing about your success there just looking for a check at the end of the day. 95% of the so called teachers there does not have a degree in teaching there Medical Assistances there selves & is only teaching you what they learned years ago when they attended Lincoln Tech themselves. I would never recommend anyone to go there. It's def a waste of time & money.

I am a current Lpn student at the Lincoln tech that's located in Allentown,PA. The school is a joke. So far I only had 2 teachers that actually knew the information they were teaching. One of the teachers actually give a review of the test right before giving the test with all the answers. The admission reps lie to perspective students by telling them the clinical sites are local & they are not. My class was told by a senior student that we have to pay & plan our graduation & pinning ceremony. My class requested to speak with the head of our department & was told it is true & to do fundraisers but not until our last semester. There is always something popping up in this school that we learn after the fact & its troubling. I find it crazy that the program is roughly $30,000 then learn you also have to pay & plan your own graduation
